Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Who is the Most Influential Radiology Researcher? What's the Best New Radiology Device? What image earned top honors as the Best Radiology Image?
The answers to these questions and more are finally available with the announcement of the winners in the Minnies, AuntMinnie.com's annual event recognizing excellence in radiology. Our expert panel combed through 219 candidates in 15 categories, based on nominations from our members.
There were a few surprises with this year's winners, but a general theme has emerged. Many of the winners fit into a category that could be broadly described as augmented radiology -- the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and advanced visualization to help radiologists do their jobs.
Curious about who won? Just click here or go to minnies.auntminnie.com to find out. And thanks to our expert panel members for their votes, as well as to everyone who nominated a candidate!
Rads and social media
Are radiologists taking full advantage of social media? Perhaps not, according to a new article we're highlighting in our Imaging Leaders Community.
Researchers from Indiana University surveyed radiologists on their use of social media for radiology education and found a generational gap between baby boomers and younger generations. There are also other pitfalls to social media that could complicate its use.

POCUS proves useful
Finally, visit our Ultrasound Community for a new article on a study appearing in JAMA Internal Medicine on the utility of point-of-care ultrasound, in particular for localizing fluid before interventional procedures. The story is available by clicking here, or go to ultrasound.auntminnie.com.
